EU citizenship - travelling and living conditions

People ha EU citizenship if they live in a EU country or they are relative/family member of an EU citizen. This means that people have both EU and their own country's citizenship.

EU citizen rights are:

• move, work and live freely within the EU
• vote and be as a candidate in European parliament
• petition the European parliament and complain to the European commissioner
• you can get reduced-cost or completely free health care during an illness or accident while visiting any EU country
• you can go study within the EU
• you can be involved in different projects like Comenius, Erasmus or in Leonardo da Vinci
• be recognized in universities 
• share an European identity with others

Because of the euro, you can compare the prices in EU countries that have euros. No matter nationality, gender, race, religion, age or sexual orientation, you have the same rights.

Finland In Eu

 There was a voting held in October 1994 which led to Finland becoming a part of the European Union.

   After Finland joined EU it also became a part of the European Economic and Monetary Union, which is one of the many projects run by EU. Finland is a big part of the decision making process in the EU. Finland has been working in a project called The Cohesion Fund which concentrates on supporting three goals: the convergence of the environmental project, regional competitiveness and co-operation. There is also a project called the European Social Fund and the European Regional Development Fund Project but these are only a few of the things that the Finnish have been involved in.

   There have been many positive things that have happened in Finland after joining this union. For example: the currency changed into euros, the EU has funded many projects and businesses and most of all there's been a lot of employment in Finland, over 1000 Finns work in the European Union!
